The rush of technology that is confronting us has gone unnoticed by most of the world’s inhabitants.

That is, until now. The moment we, as individuals start to recognise the magnitude of A.I. is likely to rearrange our view of the future: both short and long term.

The question is, how do we handle it going forward.

Nigel Horrocks and Justin Matthews recently established a Substack, CREATIVE MACHINAS.

Nigel has had an illustrious career in journalism, internet development and is a recent graduate from Oxford University in AI.

Justin Matthews is a senior lecturer in digital media at AUT.

They share with us what they know of the present and what’s ahead.

And we visit The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.

So, without restriction, Leighton continues to serve up on everything you want to hear about and some things you don’t. Stand by to be enlightened, educated and enraged!
